Action research is growing in popularity with nurse researchers, where it is often seen as a way of bridging the theory-practice gap. However, there is little agreement on exactly what is meant by the term, and most nurse researchers stop short of exploring the full potential of this methodology. This paper argues that, if taken to its logical conclusion, action research methodology goes beyond the confines of the scientific paradigm and is able to bring about improvements in practice directly without the mediation of theory. This has some important implications for how the research process is viewed, and results in a model of research which is participative, reflexive and unashamedly subjective, and which generates non-generalizable, personal knowledge directly out of practice.
行动研究在护士研究人员中越来越受欢迎，在他们看来，这通常是弥合理论与实践差距的一种方式。然而，对于这个术语的确切含义，人们几乎没有达成共识，而且大多数护士研究人员并未充分探索这种方法的全部潜力。本文认为，如果将行动研究方法贯彻到底，它将超越科学范式的局限，能够直接带来实践上的改进，而无需理论的中介。这对于如何看待研究过程具有一些重要意义，并产生一种参与性、反思性且毫不掩饰主观性的研究模式，这种模式直接从实践中产生不可推广的个人知识。
